1AC

Your first warming card is massively overhighlighted.

1NC

Brooks and Wolfworth is probably a bad uniqueness card on heg, it provides absolutely no brink.

2AC

You need to move a lot more efficiently through case. Make case blocks if you haven't already, and make sure you aren't repeating yourself on individual points.
Rewrite your T block, this is an extremely dangerous strategy. When you're conceding their interpretation of military presence, none of your we meets apply and you're probably screwed if they do do well on this.

Hari-make your point and move on. You don't need to spend 1:30 on warming quals

2NC

This is a useless overview on the DA. The overview should be reasons why the Da turns and outweighs the case.
Make sure you have warrants for all of your extensions. Often times you just repeat claims without giving me reasons why or refuting their claims. For example, you tell me that Kahn's opponents don't care about Futenma-but WHY don't they care? What are they worry about instead/why is Futenma such a small issue despite the aff's claims?
You need to write 2NC blocks and extensions for the case args.

Julia-STOP SAYING UH

1NR

Need an overview on top of DA. See my notes
T should've been a much, much larger part of the block. It's easily your best chance to win the round, and you're not going very far in depth on the standards.
CARDS. READ CARDS.

1AR

Very solid 1AR.
More impact calc on the DA would help cement a lead, especially in the absence of block impact analysis.
You should more clearly answer the arg on warming that US Japan alliance doesn't solve-I know the answer is embedded elsewhere on flow, but they're calling you on dropping it, and it wasn't answered in 2AC at that point.


2NR

You made the absolutely 100% right choice to go for T.
Stop talking to your partner during your speech. You're giving the 2AR free prep.
Extend the arguments about reasonability being arbitrary.
Give me a positive case list as well. You do a good job telling me the bad cases they justify, but tell me some of the good aff ground that is still left under your interpretation.

2AR

Very nice 2AR.
Be aware that a lot of your arguments were very new, especially those applying to the interpretation of their evidence. It doesn't hurt you at all, especially considering you probably can't fill 5 minutes anyways, but it's not really helping either.
